Why you guys cannot handle the original 4k video in After Effects CC/CS6
There are many, many flavors of 4K files, and more to come. RED camera for example can be setup to shoot uncompressed RAW 4K, 3X compression, 5X compression, 8X compression, and 10X compression.
With an iMac, or even with the new Mac Pro, to handle 4K workflows effectively, you would have to add-on a Thunderbolt expansion chassis with a RED Rocket card or RED Rocket X card, at least one or two powerful graphics cards such a the GTX 680 Mac Edition, and a beefy Thunderbolt RAID like a Promise Pegasus 6-drive model. All the costs over $18800 totally.
That is to say, there is unfortunately no way you will be able to edit native 4K files at any of the higher quality, lower compression rates. The only alternative on a Mac would be to transcode to a lighter codec, such as Pro Res. Well...yes, if you convert to ProRes and scale to 2K for editing.
